Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bursting onto the British alternative scene, the Stourbridge quartet delivered a hyperactive debut full of snarling, hook-laden indie rock. The relentless jangle-pop guitars and Miles Hunt's bratty, sarcastic vocal delivery offered a distinctly punchy alternative to the era's emerging shoegaze movement.
